Parish Church of St. John the Baptist, Königsbrunn am Wagram

The Jakobsweg Weinviertel leads through our parish. The church is open to pilgrims during the day. The pilgrim's stamp is in the Peace Chapel by the cemetery.The church was built in the middle of the village on a hill of the Wagram. There was previously a Gothic chapel on the current site of the church. The church was built over the well that gave the place its name. The originally baroque hall was built in 1755/1757 by the master builder Josef Koch from Krems, then extended in 1898 and expanded in 1936 into a cross-shaped complex with a round apse and tower. The church was a branch of Kirchberg am Wagram at the time of construction and was elevated to a parish church in 1783. The church is dedicated to St. John the Baptist consecrated. The south facade is designed in a late historical style with staggered pilasters and arched windows. The tower has narrow arched windows and a pyramid helmet. Shortly after the Second World War (1947) E. Peter painted the church with biblical scenes: The Annunciation, St. Joseph in his workshop, escape from Egypt, last supper, fishing for Peter, healing of the blind. In 1983 the church was extensively restored.Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6nigsbrunn_am_Wagram
